Great Car, but quality not so much.

Having owned a 2011 Audi Q7 in the past, I expected a great riding solid SUV in the re-designed Audi Q7. The interior is definitely very nice and luxurious. Controls are easy to use and the quality of materials appears to be very high. The seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in. They sometimes don't hold you in place when taking a corner on the faster side, but they are definitely comfortable seats to sit in. Interior space is good, however I was expecting a larger trunk space in the re-designed Q7 given that a common complaint about the previous gen was the trunk space, but it is good enough for Costco trips and trips around town. The ride is smooth and quiet. Power is more than adequate. As far as the quality, my car was in the service department for about a month and a half total in the first year. First issue that caused it to be in the shop for over a week was that the paint had sap etching all over the hood and top of the car. This was the dealers fault for parking it under trees, so not an Audi specific thing. When I bought the car, the shift lever leather was scratched, so that had to be replaced. The rear bumper was out of alignment by 1-2 mm on the left side, but it seems to be an issue with a lot of the Q7's. Homelink worked for a week, then would need to be re-programmed so the entire unit had to be replaced. It was replaced and working, but it doesn't work like the original one did. Instead of being able to program it by holding your remote pointed towards the rearview mirror, I now have to go to the rear of the vehicle and get it close to the HomeLink transmitter. Not a big deal because you only do it once or twice, but it sucks that it doesn't work the way it did before the repair. The driver seat started making a clicking sound about a week after taking delivery and it never went away. I bought it up to the service dept, the service manager heard the noise for 5 minutes straight, and they ended up saying they couldn't do anything about it because it might just be a characteristic of the seat. A year later I brought it back and they finally sent it up to Audi Corporate and they replaced the entire seat frame. The clicking seems to have gone away, but they did a horrible job of putting the seat back together. Multiple items needed to be fixed included the plastic seat cover on the rear of the seat, the plastic trim on the left side of the seat, the leather had to be re-installed correctly around the headrest, plastic clips had to be re-installed correctly around the base of the headrest, and now when driving around corners I can feel the leather slipping from side to side slightly like it wasn't attached quite right to whatever it's supposed to be to keep it in place. The driver seat trim around the seat controls had to be replaced because it would squeak every time I got out of the car. The panoramic roof had to be fixed due to rattling. Headliner had to be removed twice due to rattling and in the process the headliner was scuffed up in multiple places. The car would pull to the right after only 3k miles. The tires were apparently to blame so those had to be replaced. The passenger front window rattles occasionally. The service department has taken care of most of the issues and the car itself is great to drive. So overall I'd recommend the vehicle, but with a warning that you may have some headaches getting some minor issues fixed.

Everyone enjoys the smooth ride

This is a very room car. Holds 7 adults comfortably. It has nice acceleration on turns and even my friend who drives the big Mercedes truck noticed a smoother ride. The only negative comment... the cup holders in the driver console are too small and the mmi interface could be smaller. I don't have a place to sit my phone.

Q7 Audi Quattro 2017 Model

The vehicle accelerates very well and blocks out most of the noise from the road while driving. Fun to drive both short trips and long rides. Plenty of room for adult individuals to ride in the vehicle with lots of leg room. The comfort, style, seating, and navigation system inside the vehicle blended together makes a dynamic "rich" appeal in such a luxurious car.

Top to the crop

I don;t think there is a better SUV out there I drove tested the Cayenne, Jaguar F Pace Mercedes GL 550 and finally decided on the Q7 You get 7 seats over 5 for many contenders, it feels and drives like a 5 seats though. the GL550 is very comfy but feels like a bus compared to the Q7. The Q7 has so many tech features, room, power ... it's impossible to beat

Most luxurious car I have ever owned.

This vehicle is fully loaded with accessories I have never owned before. It rides like I?m driving on clouds. It is truly a luxury SUV.
